The Fins have addedformer Chargers HC & longtime offensive assistant Al Saunders to their staff...I'm assuming they're hoping Saunders can help jump-start their anemic O, but i'm hoping he isn't being put in place as a potential HC candidate.

Looks to be an adviser. With a career coaching record of 17–22 (.436) that seems about right. Looking at his resume he hasn't stayed with any team longer then 5 years and almost all of his stints have been 1-2 years. It seems that when he gets hired for a job that job doesn't last too long. At the age of 68 I highly doubt he was brought in for anything other then some NFL advice, even though he doesn't have a good coaching record in the NFL, he has more experience then anyone else on the staff.

Someone's got to hold the clip board.... -
I think we got a lot of clipboard holder's...If you look closely you'll probably find that the clipboards are upside down... -
I had to look him up. I read the original thread and it stated that he was the former Chargers head coach and I had never heard of him. AHA I was curious as to why I have never heard of him. Well, his record, brief tenure and the few years he was with the team is why. I wasn't paying attention to Chargers football in '86-'86 so I didn't recognize his name. Hopefully Campbell will be focusing on the DEFENSIVE changes that need to be made today.

Yeah, my understanding is that he's only here as a consultant and to give an outside view... same as what Mangini did last year. I don't think he's actually on the staff at this point.Comment

The the most important line from this article. If anybody read my Failures of the ZBS Scheme thread and the links you should know this should be a GREAT thing.
"When Saunders was the offensive coordinator of the Redskins under "Joe Gibbs" in 2006 and 2007, Lazor was the team’s quarterbacks coach."

Staff or consultant, either way i probably shouldn't complain that we've hired Al Saunders..Hell, we could hire Colonel Sanders at this point & it would be an upgrade!Comment
